Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resolution refers to the level of detail that a printer can produce, measured in dots per inch (dpi). A higher resolution means that images and text will be sharper and more detailed, which is what Paul is most concerned about. Duty cycle refers to the maximum number of pages a printer can print in a given time period, print speed refers to how quickly a printer can print a single page, and duplex capability refers to whether a printer can automatically print on both sides of a page. While these are all important considerations, they are not directly related to image and text sharpness.
